apps won't launch

[stoneage]

I don't know what is wrong. I can't get Excel, Ultimate Pen, Serial Keeper, Pastor to start from the Dock. Also Tiny Alarm doesn't appear in the MenuBar. Graphic Converter and Google earth both start from the Dock. Any help would be welcome. I have an Intel iMac (10.4.7) with the latest security update. I ran fsck and logged back in. Here is the last log I saw:

Lose the InputManager hacks!

Just trash them?

Just trash them?

Pull them to your desktop for the moment.

If you create a new user account, do the problems carry over?

I dumped the Input Managers and logged in as 'test' and was able to open the apps that were disabled. Do I now have to set up a new account and reenter all my Mail info, etc?

 

[mad jew]

So even though you dumped Input Manager, the original account still doesn't work? Ideally we'd like to get your original account up and running but at worst, we can put your settings manually back into this new account.

This is the only thing left in the Input Managers folder. It is in the HD/Library/Input Managers folde. Should I dump the whole folder? BTW, thanks for your help.

I'd follow trainguy77's advice and drag them to the Desktop, restart, and see how things go.

 

[stoneage]

No go. BTW, the problem doesn't show up on my iBook G4, just my Intel iMac. I installed the latest SU on both of them and they both are running .10.4.7

 

[mad jew]

If the problem's rife throughout your original account (and it sounds like it is), then it may just be easier to reconfigure the new account with your personal settings. Sorry, but I think it'd be quicker in the long run.

I saw a similar problem on one of the Macbook's in Regent Street. I just restarted it and the problem went away. (suspiciously they seem to have 1GB RAM in them, clearly Apple thinks 512MB isn't enough )
